What happens when the person who’s supposed to protect you... leaves you behind—twice?
In this unforgettable episode, Autumn Starr Canterbury shares the heartbreaking moment her father told her he was taking her “somewhere to get help,” only to drive her hours away to a homeless shelter in Albuquerque—and leave her there. She never saw him again.
Abandoned not once, but twice, Autumn opens up about the silence that followed, the unanswered questions that linger, and the deep ache of growing up without the love she needed. Her father disappeared into his own chaos, leaving her to survive not only the trauma of being discarded, but the pain of never being given a reason why.
Through it all, Autumn clung to what she calls her silent gift—a deep, unshakable faith that helped her walk forward even when answers never came. She shares how that faith, rather than bitterness, became the foundation of her strength.
This episode is about abandonment, resilience, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward when love, safety, and answers are nowhere to be found.
